She soon traveled to visit with Triggs, who used an alias of Dwayne Boss, telling her he was a wealthy former player for the Green Bay Packers.

“He told me he wanted to marry me. I mean, so yeah, we were dating. OK, I thought we were dating. I don't know what was going on in his head, but in my mind we were dating,” the woman said.

As part of the scheme, according to the criminal complaint, Triggs convinced the victim he was the owner of something called the Boss Family Development Center and Preschool on King Drive in Milwaukee.

It doesn't exist.

Triggs went so far as to set up a fake website for the center in case she checked it out. She said he convinced her to invest in flipping foreclosed houses, and by the time she realized it was a scam, she was out nearly $30,000.

There was no answer at the New Berlin apartment Triggs lists as his address Thursday, but he is free as he awaits a court date.

“He doesn't care. He has no remorse for anything he does. He doesn't care. So, I would like to see him go to jail because nothing else is going to teach him a lesson,” the woman said.

The victim said she's learned some hard lessons, especially about online dating.

“My warning would be don't go on any dating websites. You can't trust them at all,” she said.

Before she dates anyone, she now thoroughly researches them on Google, Facebook and LinkedIn.

The victim said Triggs went so far as to set up a credit card in her name and charged $6,000 in dental work on it.

He's charged with felony theft and is scheduled to be in court later this month.
